I was RAVAGING today- so hungry all day. It's as though this baby said, from the depths of my womb, "FEED ME". I am proud, however, that I stuck to healthy foods rather than giving into what really sounded good (read: oreos and milk). I'm trying hard to figure out how to listen to my body and still make good decisions right now. Some days, I'm not hungry much at all, some days (today), I'm starving all day.

exercise: 50 minute brisk walk with Rowan in the stroller and Elias riding his two-wheeled bike!

Breakfast: small bowl of 10-grain cereal with 1/4 c. mixed berries, 1 tsp. agave nectar to sweeten; flaxseed oil, prenatal vitamin

Lunch: 1 talapia filet, grilled with 1 T. fish sauce (1 tsp. light mayo, 1 tsp. fat-free sour cream, citrus grill seasoning); 1/2 artichoke (split with Elias who ate more than me!); 1/3 grilled peach; sliced garden tomatoes


Dinner: a very small bowl of butternut squash ravioli w/ walnuts and mixed veggies in a light creamy sauce (okay. I can't lie. it was Lean Cuisine- my favorite one.); a handful of baked chips and a bunch of homemade salsa- every ingredient besides the lime and the garlic salt came from our garden!! Delish.


Snacks: 2 small pieces lean beef jerkey, 1/8 c. seeds, 5 sugar-free chocolate covered almonds, 1 Dannon lite & fit yogurt with Bare Naked granola, 1 granola bar, protein shake

June 1st 2009

June 1st. New goals. New self-challenge.

Details:
For the month of June (with the exception of Father's Day weekend in Kansas City because I fully intend on enjoying my very favorite restaurant, Lidia's, at least two nights), I'm on a new self-challenge. 11 points possible per day. I've still not come up with a prize for myself if I get all of my points. Maybe it will just be the fact that I feel good. My duties each day include: 8 hours of sleep a night, a.m. prayers, 45 minutes of exercise at least 5 days a week, 15 minutes of scriptures each day, journal writing each day, 2 servings of fruit each day, 2 servings of veggies each day, 3 servings of protein each day, 50-60 oz. H20 each day, no fast food/bad-for-me food, sugar only 2x per week.

Other goals, just for the record: 100% VT, 2 temple sessions, read 2 books, finish quilt I started 3 years ago, finish birthday gifts for friends, make myself Amy Butler's diaper bag, start reviewing and practicing my Hypnobirthing techniques.

1:15 on day one and I'm doing well!

Exercise: 1 hour spin class (so sad to learn my favorite instructor just discovered she has breast cancer- at only 37!)

Food:
Breakfast- 3 egg white breakfast burrito w/ green chile and one turkey sausage, 2 garden tomatoes w/ salt and pepper
*H20, flax oil, prenatal vit.

Lunch- 1 turkey sandwich with cheese, tomato, lettuce and a touch of lite mayo on whole wheat; 1/2 c. blueberries; 1/2 cucumber w/ salt & pepper

Dinner- high-protein, whole grain spaghetti with homemade red sauce and turkey meatballs, a chunk of watermelon, more garden tomatoes with salt and pepper. I'm an addict.

Snacks (throughout the day)- 1 Danon Lite and Fit with Bare Naked granola, 1 peach, 12 tiny pretzel sticks
